Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 3 (IANS) The remark by Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on crime and law and order in the state has triggered a political controversy after he appeared to confuse the Hindi word 'apradh' (crime) with its English equivalent while addressing an event in New Delhi. Speaking at the event, which was also attended by the Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari, CM Choudhary said, The very concept of 'apradh' (crime) has ceased to exist here. There might be 'crime', but there is no 'apradh'and no criminals (Apradhi). The statement has since gone viral on social media, with users trolling the Chief Minister over his choice of words. Bihar's Leader of the Opposition (LoP) and Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav launched a sharp attack on Samrat Choudhary, sharing a video of his remarks on social media. In a post on social media platform X, Tejashwi Yadav said, In Bihar, there can be 'crime', but no 'apradh'! Addressing fellow countrymen, the Bihar LoP alleged that the person making such claims was facing allegations in seven murder cases and had been handpicked by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the post of Chief Minister. He also questioned whether the IAS and IPS officers seated on the stage alongside CM Choudhary felt honoured or humiliated to work with him. Taking a swipe at the Prime Minister, Tejashwi Yadav asked whether PM Modi had taken a 'supari' (contract) to ensure Bihar's destruction at the hands of Samrat Choudhary. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) spokesperson Ejaz Ahmed also criticised the Chief Minister, saying that 'apradh' was simply the Hindi word for 'crime' and that Choudhary should have consulted officials before making such a statement if he was unsure about its meaning. Ahmed alleged that the remark reflected a lack of basic understanding among those occupying positions of power in Bihar. He also accused the state government of shielding criminal elements in the past and claimed that those who once provided protection to criminals were now themselves involved in criminal activities. Referring to Tuesday's incident at Babu Barhi in Madhubani, where a police officer allegedly opened fire on civilians, Ahmed termed it an example of state-sponsored violence and accused the state government of directly engaging in acts that amounted to crime. Meanwhile, the controversy over Samrat Choudhary's remarks has continued to gain traction on social media, where users have been sharing the video and making sarcastic comments about his statement. The controversy unfolded against the backdrop of a major infrastructure initiative announced in the presence of Samrat Choudhary and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. An agreement titled 'Nadi Sanjeevani' (River Rejuvenation) was signed in New Delhi between the Bihar government and the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Under the initiative, scientifically extracted silt from Bihar's rivers will be utilised in the construction of national highways. In the first phase, around 24.3 million cubic metres of silt will be used in 16 road projects. A further proposal envisages utilising around 83.5 million cubic metres of silt for 27 future projects. The initiative is expected to reduce road construction costs, improve the water-carrying capacity of rivers and help mitigate flood risks in the state. The Chief Minister said that systematic management and utilisation of river silt could play an important role in addressing Bihar's recurring flood problem.

Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 3 (IANS) Tension prevailed in Bihar's Madhubani district after women protesting against a police firing incident allegedly grabbed District Magistrate (DM) Anand Sharma by his collar when he arrived to pacify an agitated crowd in Khojpur. The incident occurred during a road blockade staged by residents demanding strict action against Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Chandramohan Singh, who allegedly opened fire on villagers in Balirajgarh village under Babubarhi police station area, killing one person and injuring three others. A video of the confrontation has surfaced, showing some women arguing with the DM and allegedly grabbing his collar. The situation briefly turned chaotic before security personnel intervened and brought it under control. Superintendent of Police (SP) Yogendra Kumar was also present at the spot. The firing incident took place around 1 a.m. on Tuesday. ASI Chandramohan Singh, who was posted at a local police picket, allegedly opened fire with his service weapon following a confrontation with villagers at a private residence. According to reports, the ASI had visited the house of a woman, where residents allegedly caught him in a compromising situation. The villagers reportedly surrounded him and locked the door from outside. As the situation escalated, the ASI allegedly opened fire to escape. Four villagers were hit by bullets. Fifty-year-old Ashok Yadav died during treatment, while Dhanik Lal Yadav, Phulo Devi and Vijendra Yadav sustained injuries. The accused ASI fled the scene after the shooting. Taking serious note of the incident, the police have suspended Chandramohan Singh and announced a reward of Rs 25,000 for information leading to his arrest. Madhubani police have constituted a five-member special team to trace him and are conducting raids at suspected locations. According to SP Yogendra Kumar, an FIR has been registered for murder, and the police are making efforts to ensure a speedy trial and conviction of the accused. The police are also examining the accused officer's previous record. In July 2025, he faced disciplinary action in connection with the death of a minor motorcyclist during his deployment with a Dial-112 emergency response team in the Madhwapur police station area. Security has been strengthened in the affected area amid continuing public anger. The police are continuing their search for the absconding ASI. ajkdan

Bihar: Two govt surveyors arrested in Gaya bribery case
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 3 (IANS) The Vigilance Investigation Bureau on Tuesday arrested two government land surveyors in Bihar's Gaya district while they were allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 7,000 for carrying out a land measurement. The arrested officials have been identified as Avinash Kumar and Deepu Kumar. A Vigilance team from Patna caught them near the APR Mall under the jurisdiction of Civil Lines police station in Gaya city, following a complaint by a landowner. According to the complaint, Rohit Kumar had submitted an online application seeking measurement of his land. However, the two surveyors allegedly demanded Rs 7,000 to complete the process and provide the measurement report. Aggrieved by the demand, Rohit Kumar approached the Vigilance Investigation Bureau in Patna and lodged a formal complaint against them. The department subsequently verified the allegations and formed a dedicated team led by a Deputy Superintendent of Police. The team has laid a trap to catch the accused officials near the APR Mall. Acting on the plan, the Vigilance team apprehended both surveyors while they were allegedly accepting the bribe near the APR Mall on Tuesday. The team recovered Rs 7,000 from them. Following the arrests, the Vigilance personnel took both accused into custody and left for Patna for further legal proceedings. The alleged government employees will be produced in the vigilance court in Patna on Wednesday. The operation created a stir in the local administration. However, the Vigilance Department had not released detailed information about the arrested officials, including their places of posting and permanent addresses, at the time of filing this report. The case relates to alleged bribery in the delivery of a public service, despite the applicant having submitted his request through the online system. Further investigation is underway to establish the circumstances surrounding the alleged demand and acceptance of the bribe, as well as the official roles of the two accused surveyors.

Their anarchy plan exposed: Giriraj Singh accuses Rahul Gandhi, allies of plotting 'civil war'
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Tuesday accused Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi and his allies of attempting to create an atmosphere of anarchy and trigger a civil war in the country, claiming that their alleged plan had been exposed. Targeting the Opposition over its protests against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, Singh alleged that foreign forces and extremists were also involved in the activities. On one hand, Rahul Gandhi and the so-called Tukde-Tukde Gang, even the face of that cockroach, have been exposed. These people wanted to create an atmosphere of anarchy in the country. They wanted to trigger a civil war in the country. They wanted the police to open fire. That was their objective, which has now been exposed. Foreign forces were also involved in this...In earlier protests which took place at Jantar Mantar, Shaheen Bagh people were involved; there was a contribution of extremists, he said. Singh further alleged that Rahul Gandhi's earlier statements about removing Prime Minister Narendra Modi within three months reflected the Opposition's intentions. Rahul Gandhi never spoke like the Leader of the Opposition, he used to say, 'Modi will be removed in 3 months,' which shows it was their plan to initiate civil war, he added. The Union Minister also hit out at Gandhi over his remarks demanding that Prime Minister Modi and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar be sent to jail. And the way Rahul ji continues to speak, saying, 'Modi will have to go to jail, Gyanesh will have to go to jail,' but you yourself are out on bail. How can you talk about sending others to jail? Your entire family is out on bail. Your brother-in-law is out on bail, you are out on bail, and I don't know whether your mother is out on bail or not, but there is a case against her as well. All of them... His mother did not take Indian citizenship for 12 years. What kind of love for India is this? Singh said. On the Opposition's allegations regarding SIR, Singh questioned why it had not submitted the names and evidence it claimed to possess. When you were asked to provide the names, why didn't you provide them? You didn't provide them in Bihar or in Delhi. You recently went to submit a memorandum to the President, and it has been almost 600 days, nearly 550 hours, as I have seen. Yet you have still not provided any evidence to the President, he said. Meanwhile, BJP leader Ram Kadam also criticised Rahul Gandhi and his allies, accusing them of opposing India's progress. The way Rahul Gandhi and his allies do not want to see this country's progress, we must ask what has changed in the last 13 years. Everyone should look back at the pages of history and see what India was like 13 years ago. Today, India has become the world's fourth-largest economic power. We are making progress in every sector. That is why PM Modi can no longer be stopped or targeted with allegations. No charges can tarnish his image. Out of complete frustration, the opposition is displaying its ideological bankruptcy, he told IANS.

Bihar ASI Suspended After Shooting Incident Leaves One Dead, Three Injured
An ASI in Bihar was suspended after a shooting incident in a womans home resulted in one death and three injuries. Bihar ASI Suspended After Shooting Incident Leaves One Dead, Three Injured
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) The BJP on Tuesday rallied behind Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks on infiltrators. Justifying his remarks, many BJP leaders concurred that that several opposition parties, who apparently banked on support of 'infiltrators' in influencing the poll outcome, were now apprehensive as the process of deleting such names from electoral rolls has begun. BJP Bihar President Sanjay Saraogi said that Amit Shah was absolutely right and had repeatedly raised the issue on various platforms. Amit Shah was absolutely right. He has been saying this repeatedly on every platform, but these people are neither able to see nor hear it. In Congress-led states like Karnataka and Kerala, one crore names have been deleted in Karnataka. Senior ministers there are saying that the SIR was conducted properly, he said. BJP Telangana President Ramchandar Rao said that Amit Shah's padayatra in Hyderabad had received a good response and that the Home Minister had clarified the party's position on the issue. Yesterday, Amit Shah's padayatra was a great show in Hyderabad. He clarified to the people that Congress wants infiltrator voters to remain on the voter list so that they can win elections. They have won elections in many states because of infiltrators, and now that the process of deleting these voters has started, they are afraid, he said. Bihar Minister Ram Kripal Yadav also backed the Home Minister's remarks, saying that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise had identified three crore people who had allegedly got their names illegally included in the country's electoral rolls and were consuming its resources. Home Minister Amit Shah was absolutely right. The SIR exercise clearly identified three crore people who had illegally got their names added to the country's voter list and were consuming the country's resources. Action must be taken against such people, he said. However, JD(U) National General Secretary Shyam Rajak said that ensuring the accuracy of electoral rolls was the government's responsibility and that officials and election authorities should also be held accountable for any irregularities. The question is not about Rahul Gandhi or Amit Shah. It is the government's responsibility to do its job. If someone is here illegally, has come from another country and got their name registered, then somewhere your own officials and election authorities are responsible for these mistakes. There is no need to look for who made the mistakes now. Remove whatever is incorrect and re-enter the names of those who are eligible, he said. Meanwhile, addressing a gathering during his padayatra in Hyderabad on Monday, Amit Shah alleged that the Congress was opposing the SIR exercise to protect Bangladeshi infiltrators from being removed from electoral rolls. By opposing the SIR, the Congress party wants to protect Bangladeshi infiltrators in the country's electoral rolls. But I have come here today to say that Rahul ji and Revanth Reddy ji can put in as much effort as they want. The BJP will ensure that every single infiltrator is removed from the voter list and driven out of the country, he said. He further alleged that the Congress and its allies were opposing the SIR because infiltrators constituted their vote bank, adding that the BJP stood firmly behind the exercise. Only those who are citizens of this country will be allowed to vote here, HM Shah said.

Bihar cop opens fire at villagers in Madhubani; one killed
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 3 (IANS) A police Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) allegedly opened fire on villagers in Balirajgarh village under Babubarhi police station limits in Bihar's Madhubani district late on Monday night, killing a 50-year-old man and injuring three others. The deceased has been identified as Ashok Yadav, who succumbed to his injuries during treatment. The injured have been identified as Dhanik Lal Yadav, Phulo Devi and Vijendra Yadav. They were initially taken to the Babubarhi Community Health Centre (CHC), where doctors declared Ashok Yadav dead, while the other three were referred to another hospital for advanced treatment. The accused police officer has been identified as ASI Chandramohan Singh, who was posted at a police picket established in Balirajgarh. According to preliminary accounts, the incident occurred when the ASI allegedly entered the house of a local resident, Vijay Yadav, in the absence of his wife. His daughter and the daughter of their neighbour, Ashok Yadav, were reportedly sleeping inside the house. It is alleged that the ASI entered the house with inappropriate intentions. When a neighbour, Phulo Devi, noticed his presence, she reportedly bolted the door from outside and raised an alarm. Hearing the commotion, villagers gathered at the spot and surrounded the house. The ASI allegedly pulled out his service pistol and fired several rounds to escape the gathering, hitting four villagers. According to an official, the ASI had been visiting the house frequently. SSP Yogendra Kumar said the officer had allegedly developed an illicit relationship with a woman in the village and regularly visited her residence. He had gone there again on Monday night, following which the villagers surrounded the house. The SSP said the officer allegedly fired three to four rounds to protect himself from the villagers. The exact sequence of events is being investigated. Following the incident, senior police officials rushed to the hospital to meet the injured and their families and inspected the crime scene. The Madhubani SSP has been stationed at Babubarhi police station since the incident. The accused ASI has been suspended with immediate effect. Police are registering an FIR, including charges of murder, and have constituted two special teams to arrest him. He has been absconding since the firing. The incident has also brought the officer's previous service record under scrutiny. Chandramohan Singh was earlier posted at the Madhavapur police station. A few months ago, he was allegedly involved in another firing incident in Benipatti, where a motorcyclist died during an attempt to stop his vehicle. Following that incident, the ASI and the driver of a Dial 112 vehicle were suspended. The police picket at Balirajgarh was established in May 2026 following complaints of disturbances and theft of archaeological artefacts at the local excavation site. After a meeting between the SSP and villagers, security personnel were deployed to protect the excavation area. The security arrangement included an ASI, three personnel from the Special Auxiliary Police Force (SAFE) and two watchmen, with personnel staying at a residential girls' school when off duty. Meanwhile, the incident has left the village tense. Ashok Yadav, who ran a paan shop in Bengaluru, was due to marry off his daughter on December 14. Police are investigating the circumstances leading to the firing, while efforts are underway to arrest the absconding ASI.
Operated by women, powered by solar energy: Pune Metro line 3 praised for unique features
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) Pune's urban transport network is set for a major expansion, as the new Metro Pink Line is set to introduce two distinctive features: all-women train operating team and ambitious plan to power the metros operations with 30% of its electricity requirements through solar power. This has drawn all-round praise from across the political class and the business fraternity, with all of them hailing the scheduled inauguration of Pune Metro Line 3 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Handing over the responsibility of metro operations to women and planning to meet nearly one-third of the electricity needs through solar energythese are the special features of this project, he said. BJP Bihar President Sanjay Saraogi described the inauguration and the planned expansion of the city's metro network as a milestone in Maharashtra's infrastructure growth. Infrastructure is being strengthened across the country. India has become the world's fifth-largest economic power and the fourth-largest military power. Cities are being developed, and metro services are being launched in new cities, Saraogi said. He said the new corridor would benefit students, IT professionals and other commuters travelling between Shivajinagar and Hinjewadi, one of Pune's major employment hubs. The new metro line is going to connect Shivajinagar to Hinjewadi's massive IT hub, saving the precious time and energy of Pune's lakhs of young travellers, from students to corporate workers, he said. Bihar Minister Ram Kripal Yadav also praised Modi's focus on infrastructure development, citing projects ranging from highways and bridges to metro services and railway lines. Salute to PM Modi. The way he has given special attention to infrastructure across every corner of the country, whether it is four-lane or six-lane roads, bridges, culverts, metro lines or main railway lines, he has ensured development in all these areas, Yadav said. He also targeted the Congress, alleging that corruption scandals during its tenure had damaged public resources.

Less than a week is left for the release of Ramayana, and the trade and industry are eagerly waiting to see whether the film will live up to the gigantic expectations. Though touted as a Diwali release, the film arrives in cinemas on November 5, four days before the festival. Over the years, filmmakers have preferred to release their films either on Diwali or a day later, as the post-Diwali holiday is considered one of the most lucrative days at the box office. Interestingly, for Ramayana, this all-important day will fall on its fifth day of release. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh explained, This is a time when a lot of people are busy with festivities, ghar ki safaai, shopping, etc. Hence, theres a perception in the industry that this is a time when people dont go to watch movies. However, I believe that theres a strong section of moviegoers that would go and watch a film like Ramayana. It is so beautifully timed and is the most appropriate release for this season. Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema in Purnia, Bihar, opined, Theres a pre-Diwali effect as people are busy with the festivities. The makers could have released the film on November 7 or November 8, closer to Diwali. Thats because the day after Diwali is the biggest at the box office. But probably the makers are confident of the product and of the opening that it would take. Advances are good to great so far. If it manages to sell 6 lakh tickets before release at the highest possible ATP, then you are easily looking at a Rs. 100 crore plus day. He also said the decision has been a godsend for exhibitors like him, Ramayana is now releasing 4 days before Diwali. Had it come on November 9 instead of November 5, I may have had to shut shop until Ramayanas release, as the holdover releases are now coming to the end of their run. Thanks to Ramayana, Ill be making money even before the festival. So, exhibitors are happy. Meanwhile, the producers get an extended festive first week. Its a win-win situation from that perspective. He added, Normally films are released on Diwali or a day after. Hence, its a gutsy move on the part of the producers. Trade analyst Atul Mohan clarified, I wont call this pre-Diwali. The film is releasing in the Diwali week. Diwali falls on Sunday while the film releases 4 days before, on Thursday. He continued, Ramayana is such a topic that every parent would want their child to watch it. We all know what the story is. But now, with the advent of technology, makers can make it visually appealing. This advantage was not there. Yet, the makers of the TV show Ramayan did a commendable job. Now, VFX makes things easier in making visually appealing cinema. Ranbir Kapoor is one of the biggest stars. These factors have gone in favour of the film. Distributor and exhibitor Raj Bansal agreed, In the earlier versions of Ramayan, popular actors didnt play the lead roles. But in this film, we have Ranbir Kapoor and Yash, who are immensely popular, being cast as Lord Rama and Ravana. Meanwhile, who can be better for the role of Lord Hanuman than Sunny Deol? This will be a major advantage for the film and will also entice those who may not be followers of the epic, Ramayana, or those belonging to other religions. However, he admitted, The labour class and families are busy with the celebrations. That keeps them away from cinemas on Diwali and before. The same effect is also seen during Ramzan.

Srinagar, Nov 2: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti's renewed call for dialogue with New Delhi at her party's convention on Monday has brought the positions of Kashmir's regional parties on engagement with the Centre into focus, particularly those of the Apni Party and Peoples Conference, which have faced allegations of being the BJP's B-team for their perceived proximity to the central leadership. Addressing party workers at Sher-e-Kashmir Park in Srinagar, Mehbooba said Jammu and Kashmir's political problems could not be resolved through arrests, restrictions or stringent laws, and called for meaningful dialogue between New Delhi and the people of Kashmir. The former Chief Minister invoked former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's approach towards Kashmir and recalled the reconciliation efforts undertaken by her father and PDP founder Mufti Mohammad Sayeed. Her remarks came against the backdrop of a prolonged political dispute over engagement with New Delhi, with regional parties frequently accusing one another of maintaining an understanding with the BJP. The Apni Party, headed by Altaf Bukhari, has consistently maintained that dialogue with the Centre is necessary to address Jammu and Kashmir's political and administrative concerns, including restoration of statehood and protection of land and employment rights. However, since its formation in March 2020, the party has faced repeated allegations from political rivals of being backed by the BJP, particularly over its meetings with central leaders following the abrogation of Article 370. Bukhari has rejected the allegations on several occasions, arguing that meeting the Prime Minister or other central leaders to raise Jammu and Kashmir's demands should not be treated as evidence of political allegiance to the BJP. The Peoples Conference, led by Sajad Gani Lone, has also advocated engagement with New Delhi while maintaining its opposition to the constitutional changes introduced in August 2019. Lone faced similar accusations during the 2024 parliamentary and Assembly elections, when political opponents, including the National Conference, described him as a BJP proxy. He rejected the allegations and challenged his opponents to substantiate their claims. The controversy intensified during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections after the BJP decided not to field candidates in Kashmir's three parliamentary constituencies, while the Apni Party extended support to Lone in Baramulla. The political differences between these parties have also centred on their respective approaches to the restoration of Article 370, statehood and engagement with the central government. While the PDP has demanded restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's constitutional rights alongside a broader political dialogue, the Apni Party has emphasised statehood, employment and land safeguards, and the Peoples Conference has sought political engagement while opposing the August 2019 decisions. The PDP itself entered into an alliance with the BJP in 2015, when Mufti Mohammad Sayeed became Chief Minister of the coalition government. Mehbooba subsequently headed the government until the BJP withdrew support in June 2018. At Monday's convention, Mehbooba defended the party's decision to enter into the alliance and asked PDP workers not to be apologetic about its political history. She also criticised the National Conference over its political record and reiterated that reconciliation and dialogue remained central to the PDP's approach towards resolving Kashmir's problems. The latest remarks come at a time when the National Conference, PDP, Apni Party and Peoples Conference continue to differ over their political strategies and relations with New Delhi. Although the parties have distinct positions on constitutional restoration and the terms of engagement, Mehbooba's call for dialogue reflects a demand also made by the Apni Party and Peoples Conference in recent years.

Arunachal: Mortal remains of two missing soldiers recovered after two months
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Nov 3 (IANS) More than two months after flash floods swept away five Army personnel in Arunachal Pradesh, the two remaining bodies were finally traced. The Army's Eastern Command, on Monday, paid homage to Havildar Upendr Yadav and Agniveer Samundra Singh. Lt Gen VMB Krishnan, Army Commander, and all ranks express deepest condolences on the demise of Havildar Upendr Yadav and Agniveer Samundra Singh of Spear Corps, who gallantly made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty in Dibang, Arunachal Pradesh. The Indian Army stands firmly with the bereaved families, the Command posted on X. The flash flood, triggered by a cloudburst, had swept away two camps of the 5 Grenadiers around 4.30 pm on August 14, 2026. Seven soldiers were carried away from the Pasu Pani camp by the floodwaters. While two of them could be rescued, five went missing. A massive search operation was launched by the Army, Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and other agencies. Three bodies were recovered in September from the debris and rocks. After DNA analysis, they were identified as Agniveer Aditya Kumar of Vaishali, Bihar; Kundan Kumar of Bhojpur, Bihar; and Vinod Yadav of Auraiya, Uttar Pradesh. However, there was no trace of Havildar Yadav or Singh. It is a rugged and desolate terrain, with rock outcrops, hills and forests. Despite the challenges, the rescue teams did not give up. Helicopters also joined in the search operations, and locals were engaged to look for the two, an official said. While the recovery of the bodies has smothered even the last flicker of hope for the families, it will bring closure and remove legal hurdles. Havildar Yadav's family members in Uttar Pradesh were waiting for any news about the 38-year-old soldier. Relatives had earlier said that the wait was taking a heavy mental toll. The family had launched social media appeals and poster campaigns to draw attention to the missing soldier and urged civil society to support the search. According to officials, the mortal remains will be sent back to the families after all legal formalities. Their last rites will be performed with full military honours. While Havildar Yadav's family will receive compensation, gratuity and pension, the next of kin of Singh will receive an amount exceeding Rs 1 crore. This will include Rs 48 lakh from the non-contributory life insurance, one-time ex-gratia of Rs 44 lakh and Rs 8 lakh from the Armed Forces Battle Casualty Fund. His family is also entitled to his entire salary for the balance period of four years that he was to serve.

Jan Suraaj seeks disqualification of two Bihar MLCs after they join BJP
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 2 (IANS) Jan Suraaj Party on Monday sought the disqualification of newly elected independent Members of the Bihar Legislative Council, Banshidhar Brajwasi and Rahul Raj, after they joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) shortly after their election. A delegation led by former MLA Kishore Kumar Munna met the Bihar Legislative Council's Acting Chairman Prof Dr Ramvachan Rai and submitted a petition seeking action against the two MLCs under the relevant constitutional provisions. Jan Suraaj spokesperson Kumar Saurabh criticised the move heavily and said that it was a betrayal of the voters mandate and a violation of democratic principles. The reason being, the results came out on October 28 - 2 seats were won by BJP, 2 were won by independent candidates, and 2 were won by RJD, and one by Jan Suraaj, and just to create the perception that you won four seats and not two, you tried to tweak the mandate given by the public, he said. They are clearly going against the Schedule 10, 190, and 12(K) provisions of the Constitution, he added. The Jan Suraaj delegation alleged that Brajwasi, elected from the Tirhut Graduate constituency, and Rahul Raj, elected from the Saran Teachers' constituency, joined the BJP before even 72 hours had passed since their election victories. The delegation argued that their decision to join a political party after being elected as independents violated the provisions of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution and sought the termination of their membership of the Legislative Council. Speaking after the meeting, Munna said an independent member elected to a legislative body could face disqualification for joining a political party after the election. He said the delegation had apprised the Acting Chairman of the entire matter and requested that notices be issued to the parties concerned, and appropriate action be taken in accordance with the law. Munna said the Election Commission of India, the Chief Electoral Officer of Bihar, the Chief Secretary and the Commissioner concerned had also been made parties to the petition. He further claimed that both MLCs had publicly acknowledged joining the BJP and accepting membership of the party. The delegation submitted supporting material, including newspaper reports, statements made by the two leaders in the media and other relevant evidence, in a pen drive to the Acting Chairman. According to Munna, Rai assured the delegation that he would consult legal experts and take appropriate action in accordance with the applicable rules and legal provisions. Former MLC Rambali Singh Chandravanshi, who was also part of the delegation, said the members had raised concerns over delays in securing justice while presenting their case before the Acting Chairman. He said Rai had described the matter as serious and assured the delegation that appropriate action would be taken under the relevant legal and constitutional provisions. Chandravanshi expressed confidence in the Acting Chairman's impartiality and said he hoped that a decision would be taken in the interest of protecting the Constitution and democratic values. The delegation included former MLA Kishore Kumar Munna, former MLC Rambali Singh Chandravanshi, Subhash Kushwaha, Tej Narayan Sahni, Suresh Patel and Obaidur Rahman, among others.

Bihar: ASI arrested in Begusarai bribery case
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 2 (IANS) In a major crackdown on corruption, the Vigilance Investigation Bureau on Monday arrested an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) posted at Sahebpur Kamal police station in Begusarai district while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 29,000. The accused, identified as Chandan Jha, was caught red-handed by a vigilance team from Patna during a trap operation near the block headquarters. The arrest has triggered a stir within the district police department. Gautam Sharan, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in the Vigilance Investigation Bureau, Patna, said the action followed a complaint lodged by Amit Kumar, a resident of the Sahebpur Kamal police station area. In his complaint, Amit Kumar alleged that ASI Chandan Jha had demanded money in exchange for removing his name from a criminal case. After receiving the complaint, the Vigilance Department conducted a preliminary verification of the allegations. Once the bribe demand was confirmed, a case (No. 127/26) was registered at the Vigilance police station. Subsequently, a trap was laid on Monday. The vigilance team apprehended the ASI immediately after he allegedly accepted Rs 29,000 from the complainant. According to DSP Gautam Sharan, the accused had initially demanded Rs 30,000, but the amount was later settled at Rs 29,000 following negotiations. The entire amount was recovered from his possession during the operation. The DSP said the case was related to a four-wheeler allegedly owned by the complainant. ASI Chandan Jha had claimed that he had already sold the vehicle. However, the same vehicle was subsequently seized in connection with a case involving liquor smuggling. The accused allegedly demanded the bribe in exchange for removing the complainant's name from the liquor smuggling case. Following his arrest, the vigilance team took the accused to the Begusarai Circuit House (Parisadan) to complete the necessary legal formalities. Arrangements were subsequently made to take him to Patna for further legal proceedings. The operation has once again brought the issue of corruption within the police department into focus. The Vigilance Department has reiterated its action against public servants allegedly demanding or accepting bribes, while further investigation into the case is underway.
After Mamata-free Bengal, time now for Rahul-free Delhi: Nitin Nabin
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Nov 2 (IANS) BJP national president Nitin Nabin on Monday led the party's 'Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy' march in Kolkata and simultaneously targeted former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi. The procession, which started from College Street with Nitin Nabin, state Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and state BJP president Samik Bhattacharya, concluded in the Esplanade area in central Kolkata. While addressing the public at the end of the march, Nitin Nabin said, West Bengal is already completely free from Mamata. Unable to cope with the shock of defeat in his own state, the former Chief Minister is now crying in Delhi. Now Delhi too needs to be freed from Rahul quickly. The BJP launched a counter-offensive against the Opposition's protests over the Election Commissions Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. On Sunday, the INDIA Bloc held a 'Save the Vote, Save the Country' programme at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Slamming the Opposition for organising the protest, Nitin Nabin said, People of the INDIA Bloc, who were defeated in their respective states, had gathered in Delhi to cry. The manner in which TMC was wiped out in Bengal, Congress and AAP were wiped out in Delhi. In Bihar too, RJD was completely wiped out. Now, it is Uttar Pradesh's turn; we had defeated Akhilesh Yadav earlier too, and we will defeat him in 2027 too. Such people with anarchist mindsets are led by Rahul Gandhi. Attacking the Congress further, the BJP national president said the grand old party never learns from its mistakes. Instead of learning from his mistakes, Rahul Gandhi is acting as the tool kit of foreign forces. When I say this word, I say this because when there was unrest in Bangladesh, he was sympathetic towards the elements who were causing the unrest. When elements try to cause unrest in Nepal, he expresses sympathy to them. Rahul Gandhi and Congress are sympathetic towards all such elements. The BJP Rajya Sabha leader further said, ''Even today, I tell Rahul Gandhi Ji: learn from your shortcomings, or else in the coming days, there will be no one left in the country even to take Congress's name; this is the situation that will arise for you. You talk about democracy? I ask the workers of Congress: is there any democracy left in your own party? You invoke the Constitution, which Constitution? The Constitution that runs according to the Nehru-Gandhi family? Nabin also hailed the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking the country forward on several fronts. When it comes to national security, he stands as a Chowkidar (watchman); during a crisis like COVID-19, he stands as the Pradhan Sevak (Chief Servant) of the nation; this is Narendra Modi's leadership. Today, you are trying to spread anarchy across the country and harm constitutional institutions. When the public rejected you, had you fought for the people's causes, they wouldn't have turned their backs on you. The BJP leader added, And we can say that today, if more than 25 crore poor families have risen above the poverty line, it is a victory of trust in Narendra Modi's development. It is a victory of Narendra Modi's welfare schemes. Now they ask how this transformed into results. Instead of removing poverty, you removed the poor. But Narendra Modi Ji removed poverty and brought people out of the poverty line. That is why we won the election in 2019, and that is why we won in 2024, and we will win again in 2029. West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari compared the Trinamool Congress and the Opposition by presenting his own political interpretation of the SIR process. He said, Whatever SIR means to the opposition, for us the real meaning of SIR is - remove the infiltrators, save India. Strongly attacking the opposition camp, the Chief Minister further said, Let me remind those who have come together today to save themselves from corruption and jail terms, to maintain the dynasty and to bring back the politics of appeasement - in the 2026 elections, the people of West Bengal elected the Bharatiya Janata Party by giving 2 crore 92 lakh votes. That is why they want to create anarchy in Bengal today.''

Ranji Trophy: Dubey Picks Nine Scalps As Vidarbha Bowl Out Madhya Pradesh For 209
For Central Zone: Left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey rewrote the Vidarbha record books on Monday by claiming 9-53 to bowl out Madhya Pradesh for 209 on an eventful opening day of their Ranji Trophy match at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha. Dubey became the first bowler from Vidarbha to claim a nine-wicket haul in an innings of the Ranji Trophy. The previous best figures for the side was Arun Ogirals 8-39 in 1967-68, which ironically came against Madhya Pradesh. Dubey is now the 30th bowler overall to take nine or more wickets in an innings in the Ranji Trophy. It was Vidarbha all-rounder Nachiket Bhute, though, who made the first breakthrough by removing opener Yash Dubey. From there onwards, the innings belonged to Harsh. He opened his account in the 17th over and kept chipping away, leaving Madhya Pradesh at 64/5 in the 29th over. Atharva Mahajan and Saransh Jain resisted with a 72-run stand. It lasted nearly 18 overs before Dubey returned to break it, and the lower order did not survive long after that. The last nine-wicket haul in the Ranji Trophy came from Gujarats left-arm spinner Siddharth Desai, who took 9-36 against Uttarakhand in 2024-25. Mondays spell adds to a big year for Dubey, who made his ODI debut against Afghanistan in June and took four wickets in two matches. He then toured Sri Lanka with India A, taking three wickets and scoring 59 runs across two innings. For Central Zone in the Duleep Trophy, he took eight wickets and made 27 and 24 against East Zone. He has carried that form into the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy season, with 23 wickets in seven innings so far. Elsewhere, Karnatakas Ritesh Bhatkal (5-35) and Shikhar Shetty (5-53) shared 10 wickets to bowl Assam out for 135 inside 49 overs in Guwahati. Rohan Patil then hit 89 off 87 balls, with 13 fours and a six, and added 129 for the opening wicket with Mayank Agarwal, who was unbeaten on 57, as Karnataka got a 45-run lead. In Dharamsala, 20 wickets fell on the opening day. Rajasthan chose to bat and were shot out for 78, with Abhishek Kumar taking five wickets for Himachal Pradesh. Sahil Dhiwan replied with a five-wicket haul for Rajasthan, but Himachal still made 153 for a lead of 75. Mayank Mishra took 6-57 as Uttarakhand bowled out Haryana for 153 after they elected to bat. In Chandigarh, Pradosh Ranjan Pauls unbeaten 138 powered Tamil Nadu to 320/4 against the hosts. N Jagadeesan (52) and Baba Indrajith (51) also scored fifties. Punjab recovered from 71/5 to reach 276/5 against Andhra, thanks to an unbroken 205-run stand for the sixth wicket between Salil Arora (111 not out) and Sanvir Singh (100 not out). In Ahmedabad, Aarya Desai fell five short of a century as Gujarat crossed 300 against Kerala. He added 116 with Abhishek Desai, and after Gujarat slipped to 182/4, Urvil Patel (63 not out) and Vishal Jayswal (50 not out) put on an unbeaten 111-run stand. Opener Dhruv Patel made 124 to lift Baroda to 269/6 in Kanpur. He added 88 with Shashwat Rawat (47) and 108 with Mitesh Patel (49) after Baroda were 54/2. His dismissal set off a late wobble, with three wickets falling on 249 in four deliveries across two overs. Services captain Rajat Paliwal came in at number five with his side at 27/3 and made an unbeaten 111 to take them to 266 in 88 overs against Delhi at Palam. Snehal Kauthankars unbeaten 116 rescued Goa from 54/4 after they chose to bat against Bihar at home, as they ended day one at 288/6 in 87 overs. At the CCI in Mumbai, Angkrish Raghuvanshi (78) and Sarfaraz Khan (55) struck half-centuries and captain Siddesh Lad made 47 as Mumbai reached 247/6 in 83 overs after being put in by Railways. Sridam Pauls 86 led Tripuras fightback against Saurashtra as the hosts reached 219/7 at stumps at the MBB Stadium. Put in to bat after Saurashtra won the toss, Tripura slumped to 28/5 inside 19 overs. Paul then added 125 for the sixth wicket with wicketkeeper-batter Sentu Sarkar, who made 46. Manisankar Murasingh (33) and Bikram Debnath (32) were unbeaten at the close, after Tripura had batted 74.3 overs. Parth Bhut was the pick of the Saurashtra bowlers with 3-52 in 19 overs, including two maidens. Chetan Sakariya took two wickets, while Yuvraj Dodiya and Sammar Gajjar claimed one each. Sridam Pauls 86 led Tripuras fightback against Saurashtra as the hosts reached 219/7 at stumps at the MBB Stadium. Put in to bat after Saurashtra won the toss, Tripura slumped to 28/5 inside 19 overs. Paul then added 125 for the sixth wicket with wicketkeeper-batter Sentu Sarkar, who made 46.

Bihar couple turns entrepreneur under PMFME scheme; their noodle business employs a dozen people
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 2 (IANS) A couple from Sheikhpura district of Bihar, namely Sanjay Kumar and Ranjana Kumari, have become the talk of town over their food venture under the Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) scheme, and its capacity to employ about a dozen people in a short span of time. The couple, after learning about the scheme, received monetary support under the scheme and launched a noodle-manufacturing business not long ago. The initiative not only made their family financially self-reliant but has also created job opportunities for others in the surrounding area. Today, their entrepreneurial venture employs a total of 10 people regularly. Ranjana Kumari, sharing the success story of 'Smriti Noodles,' shared with IANS the difficult times when it was difficult to cover household expenses and manage children's education. Facing a weak financial situation, she aspired to start a venture of her own. It was during this period that she learned about the PMFME scheme. She applied under the program and, with government assistance, took the first steps toward establishing her business. Earlier a homemaker and now a successful businesswoman. Ranjana and her husbands story has become an inspirational tale in the village as the family has not only become self-reliant but also employs locals in the noodle manufacturing business. She says that both men and women are currently employed at her unit. Expressing gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she remarked that the scheme has served as a vital support system for women like her. Today, the family is not dependent on others to run expenses and is effectively fulfilling the familys responsibilities. Ranjanas husband, Sanjay Kumar, shared that his wife had long aspired to start a business, but rising inflation and household expenses made it difficult. It was during this time that they learnt about the PMFME scheme. With government assistance, they were able to install the necessary machinery and begin the production of noodles. According to Sanjay, this venture has given them, particularly his wife, a new identity. They are now receiving orders for noodles from several nearby districts, including Nalanda, Nawada, and Rajgir.
Congress trying to protect 3 crore Bangladeshi infiltrators in voter list: HM Shah
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Nov 2 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday claimed that three crore Bangladeshi infiltrators are among absent voters sought to be deleted in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and accused the Congress party of trying to protect them. He declared that the BJP will ensure that every infiltrator is removed from the electoral rolls and driven out of the country. Amit Shah was addressing the Save Democracy Remove Anarchy march organised by the BJP here as part of its nationwide campaign to counter the anti-SIR campaign of the INDIA bloc. Alleging that by stopping SIR, Congress and company was trying to save Bangladesh infiltrators, he termed the rally organised by the INDIA bloc in Delhi on Sunday as a Save the infiltrators rally. Congress and company are trying to stop SIR because infiltrators are their vote bank. BJP workers stand firmly with SIR. Only citizens of this country will be allowed to vote here, said HM Shah, who led the foot march from Basheerbagh to Moazzam Jahi Market. Amit Shah said Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi was lying that 13 crore votes were deleted in SIR. The Home Minister stated that 6.25 crore voters had shifted while about 3 crore voters were dead. He said another one crore voters had double entries. The Congress party wants to capture elections through bogus voting. If one person has two votes, should one of them be cancelled or not? Now we come to the source of 'Rahul Baba's' stomach ache. Three crore votes are such that the people they belong to do not even exist. These are Bangladeshi infiltrators, he said. He alleged that by opposing the SIR, the Congress party wants to protect Bangladeshi infiltrators in the country's electoral rolls. But I have come here today to say that Rahul ji and Revanth Reddy ji can put in as much effort as they want. The BJP will ensure that every single infiltrator is removed from the voter list and driven out of the country. Dismissing the allegation of Rahul Gandhi that the BJP won only because of the SIR, he reminded the Congress leader that there was no SIR when Narendra Modi won in 2014, 2019 and 2024. He won because of the voters of India. After 2024, we won in Maharashtra with the biggest majority. We won in Haryana. After 30 years, we won in Delhi. We won in Bihar with the biggest majority. In Bengal too, Didi's entire political standing has been wiped out, he said and exuded confidence that BJP will win Telangana too. Amit Shah remarked that Rahul Gandhi can never become Prime Minister. Two days ago, you held a mock Parliament. If you had asked me, I would have suggested that you become Prime Minister at least once in this mock Parliament. Because you will never be able to become Prime Minister in the real Parliament. At least if you become Prime Minister in a mock Parliament, Sonia ji's heart will find some peace, he remarked. The Home Minister said that Rahul Gandhi carries the Constitution in his hand but has no respect for the Constitution. Stating that Constitutional responsibilities are discharged through the country's Parliament, he accused Rahul Gandhi of not allowing Parliament to function. I challenge you today from the land of Hyderabad. We are ready to convene a special session of Parliament. Come and participate in a discussion. But he will not participate in the discussion because he knows that only through anarchy and disorder can the Congress party keep itself in the news. If Parliament functions, our Modi ji will completely demolish their arguments, he said. On Rahul Gandhis allegation that BJP was winning because of EVMs, he asked how Revanth Reddy became Chief Minister of Telangana. How do parties form governments in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Himachal Pradesh? If the EVMs are so bad, you should not have taken the oath of office. When you win, the credit goes to the people, but when you lose, you blame the EVMs. Alleging that there were scams, scandals and corruption worth Rs 12 lakh crore during 10 years of Congress rule, he said the country cant be handed over to the Congress again. Amit Shah remarked that the Congress party is on a ventilator. Can this ventilator party run a marathon alongside Modi ji? Rahul ji, forget Modi ji. Even my Telangana Yuva Morcha president will defeat you. The BJP leader also took a dig at Rahul Gandhis foreign visits. Rahul ji, you cannot win elections this way. You spend three or four months in the country and then go abroad. You will have to sweat it out in the country. You will have to stand united with the people and work to resolve their problems, he said. Amit Shah accused Revanth Reddy of turning the entire Telangana into an ATM for the Congress leaders sitting in Delhi and said the people of Telangana will never forgive him for this. Stating that Rahul Gandhi had promised six guarantees in Telangana, he said not even one guarantee has been fulfilled.

Bihar: Gas pipeline explodes in Muzaffarpur; one feared dead, several injured
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 2 (IANS) A powerful explosion rocked the Gobarsahi area of Bihar's Muzaffarpur district on Monday after a gas pipeline was reportedly damaged during drain construction work, leaving one person dead and several others injured. The intensity of the explosion was such that the windowpanes of dozens of nearby houses shattered, while the walls of several residential buildings sustained damage. The sudden blast triggered panic among residents, many of whom rushed out of their homes, fearing further explosions. Following the incident, a large crowd gathered at the spot as residents expressed concern over the continuing gas leak and the possibility of a fire. A team from the Fire Department rushed to the scene and launched emergency operations to control the situation. Efforts were underway to contain the gas leak, prevent a possible fire and ensure the safety of people living in the surrounding areas. According to preliminary information, one person has died, and several others have sustained injuries. However, official confirmation regarding the death, the exact number of injured persons and their identities is still awaited. The injured are expected to be shifted to nearby hospitals for treatment, while authorities are also assessing the damage caused to residential properties and the need to evacuate people from vulnerable areas. The incident occurred when a gas pipeline was accidentally ruptured during drain construction work. The administration will investigate how the pipeline was damaged and whether adequate safety precautions were followed before and during the construction activity.

Further details regarding the casualties, the extent of the damage and the restoration of normalcy are awaited from the district administration and the concerned gas agency. The district police have deployed a number of police personnel to the affected area and urged people to stay cautious.
When Union Ministers from Bengal step from politics to the theatre stage
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar taking time off to step under the arc lights on stage has generated interest because while politicians are known to have dabbled in acting in West Bengal a state recognised for cultural activities there have not been many who could follow their hearts while being in a similar position that demands absolute involvement. Yet, for Bengal, the achievement is not without precedent. More than two decades ago, another Bengali minister at the Centre, Ajit Panja (1936-2008), became famous for the portrayal of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa in productions of Nati Binodini. Majumdar took to the stage on Sunday, donning the role of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in a theatrical production, 'Keshari Hatya', depicting the life and death of Syama Prasad Mookerjee, the founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS). He also appeared in the same play as the narrator. The Minister told the media that he was offered the role, and as every Bengali has a latent desire to act, he accepted it. Though I cant recollect any other Union Minister from West Bengal having acted in a play apart from Ajitda and Sukantababu, I do remember Subrata Mukherjee and lately, Bratya Basu, having enacted roles on stage as well as in cinema, said Saumya Bandopadhya, a senior journalist who has covered the state for almost a half-century. Subrata Mukherjee (1946-2021) was a veteran West Bengal politician who was a senior leader of the Congress party and later, the Trinamool. He served as a cabinet minister in the West Bengal government and was widely regarded as an influential organiser and administrator, with a political career spanning more than five decades. He also served as the Mayor of Kolkata and played an important role in Bengal politics for many years. The 57-year-old Bratya Basu has served as a Minister in the Mamata Banerjee-led cabinet in West Bengal. However, neither Mukherjee nor Basu were Union Ministers, and their acting skills were well known earlier. Echoing Bandopadhya, another senior journalist from West Bengal, Gautam Hor, added that it is the passion for the stage that draws people from other professions onto amateur acting. Anybody who loves theatre can participate on stage, but it is the time constraint for someone who holds a ministers job that makes such an attempt stand out. Such a foray requires time, especially for rehearsals, he said. According to Majumdar, rehearsals were conducted even as he attended to his official engagements, participating whenever he could afford the time. That, indeed, is a tough task. It is perhaps Bengali has a latent desire to act that the Minister stated that made the task possible for him. Panja, a senior Congress leader who later joined the Trinamool Congress and served in several Union ministries, was also a passionate theatre actor. He earned widespread recognition with his enactment of Sri Ramakrishna, and has even held a show at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Contemporary accounts describe how then-Prime Minister Vajpayee was among those who watched the production during one of its stagings, and former Chief Minister of West Bengal, Jyoti Basu, had attended a performance and praised Panja's acting. The tradition resurfaced with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sukanta Majumdar performing at Kolkata's Rabindra Sadan. Hopefully, the curtain will never fall as Bengal continues to follow the passion.
Criminal carrying a reward of Rs 50,000 arrested in Golf Links armed dacoity case
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) The Delhi Police's Crime Branch has arrested a 22-year-old wanted criminal, carrying a reward of Rs 50,000, for his involvement in an armed dacoity at a businessman's residence in the upscale Golf Links area of the national capital. The accused, identified as Sushil Kumar, was arrested from Bihar's Madhubani district, following an extensive operation by the Anti-Extortion and Kidnapping Cell (AEKC) of the Crime Branch. According to the police, the case dates back to April 16, when a group of seven to eight armed assailants barged into the residence of 76-year-old businessman Ashok Chawla at 187, Golf Links. Armed with swords and other deadly weapons, the attackers assaulted and threatened the family members before fleeing with cash and jewellery worth approximately Rs 30-35 lakh. Investigations revealed that the dacoity was allegedly carried out in connivance with Sushil Kumar, who had recently been employed as a domestic help at the residence. Following the incident, a case was registered under FIR No. 29/2026 under Sections 311/61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at Tughlak Road police station. While six co-accused were arrested earlier, Sushil Kumar managed to evade arrest. Subsequently, the court issued non-bailable warrants against him and initiated proceedings under Section 84 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). Considering the gravity of the offence, a cash reward of Rs 50,000 was announced for information leading to his arrest on October 22. The Crime Branch subsequently tasked its teams with tracking down wanted and absconding criminals operating across Delhi and other states. The breakthrough came through technical surveillance and sustained ground-level intelligence gathering. Acting on specific inputs that the accused was hiding in Bihar, a specialised team led by Inspector Veer Singh was constituted under the supervision of ACP Pankaj Arora and the overall supervision of DCP Sanjeev Kumar Yadav. The team, headed by Sub-Inspectors Imran and Ankur, included ASIs Deepchand and Umesh Kumar and Head Constables Yograj, Manoj, Sandeep, Manish, Mukesh Chaudhary, and Anoop. The police said tracing the accused was challenging due to the sensitive nature of the area and its proximity to the Nepal border. However, on October 31, the team conducted a coordinated operation and apprehended Sushil Kumar near Ghoghardiha Railway Station in Madhubani. The accused was arrested under Sections 35(1)(c) and 35(1)(d) of the BNSS. He was subsequently produced before the court concerned at Patiala House Courts.
Bihar Assembly secretariat issues notice to Anant Singh over anti-party activities
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 2 (IANS) The Bihar Legislative Assembly Secretariat has issued a notice to Mokama MLA Anant Singh, asking him to submit his response within seven days over allegations of anti-party activities. The notice was issued by Assembly Secretary Sanjay Kumar Singh on the instructions of Speaker Prem Kumar and was received by Anant Singh on Monday. The proceedings were initiated following a complaint by the Janata Dal (United), which has sought the termination of Anant Singh's legislative membership, alleging that he engaged in activities against the party. JD(U) state president Umesh Kushwaha had submitted a formal petition to Assembly Speaker Prem Kumar, seeking action against the Mokama MLA. The party also submitted supporting documents, including newspaper clippings, CDs and other evidence, to substantiate its allegations. After examining the complaint and the documents submitted by the JD(U), the Speaker directed the Assembly Secretariat to initiate the formal proceedings. Accordingly, the notice was issued, giving Anant Singh seven days to present his defence. No decision has been taken so far regarding the termination of his Assembly membership. Further proceedings will depend on his response and the Speaker's consideration of the matter. The controversy stems from the recent Bihar Legislative Council elections, during which Anant Singh openly opposed JD(U) candidate Neeraj Kumar in the Patna Graduates' constituency and campaigned in support of Jan Suraaj candidate Anuj Kumar. Neeraj Kumar was the official NDA candidate and the JD(U)'s chief spokesperson. Following Anant Singh's public opposition to the party's candidate, the JD(U) expelled both him and his wife, former MLA Neelam Singh, for six years. The party had earlier assigned Union Minister and Munger MP Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh the responsibility of resolving the differences between Anant Singh and Neeraj Kumar. JD(U) National Working President Sanjay Jha had also indicated that Lalan Singh would intervene to settle the dispute. However, the differences between the two leaders remained unresolved during the election campaign. Lalan Singh's remarks reportedly added to the friction, further complicating efforts to broker a reconciliation. After Neeraj Kumar won the Patna Graduates' constituency despite Anant Singh's opposition, he declined to accept congratulations and blessings from Lalan Singh. Neeraj also made a pointed remark, saying that he would repay the political debt with interest. However, his stance appeared to change just two days later, when he began publicly praising Lalan Singh, adding another twist to the political developments within the JD(U).
